Taught Modules

CS-256 Visual Computing

This module will provide an introduction to Visual Computing and its applications including visualisation, visual analytics, graphics and machine learning. It will help students to extend their programming skills and theoretical knowledge on the analysis and understanding of advanced algorithms. It will also allow students to make good choices about specialist modules they can take in year 3, the projects they can follow in year 3, and future careers.
